The wiper blade arm on my car is very hard to remove from the motor

They are generally on a taper. And difficult to get a straight pull with
your fingers. Try levering either side with a pair of screwdrivers.
Copper grease is generally the best thing to prevent seizing.


Copper grease is a bad choice for aluminium though.
